DEVELOPMENT.md

Development:

Yeoman expects our generator files to be located in a generators/ directory so we compile all of our ES6 code down to ES5 and voila.

We also need to setup our .gitignore and .npmignore so we don't keep the wrong versions of the files in the incorrect place. We don't want to commit our compiled generators to our repo so we ignore the generators folder which is created by our npm run build and npm run develop scripts. On the NPM registry side of things, we only want to add the compiled versions so we ignore the src folder.

Local Development:

• Pull this repository locally
• CD into root directory
• npm link
• npm run develop

This will kick off an initial run of babel and watch for any file changes. Since we've run the npm link command any instances of the react-up will reference this directory vs. the installed version from npm.
